Rightsizing/Downsizing your home
There are numerous reasons people decide to downsize. For example, often when kids have all grown up and you don’t feel like maintaining a large house anymore, moving to a smaller home or even an apartment where you have no maintenance to do, can be an attractive option.
Declutter room by room and learn the extraordinary feeling of lightness that a purge can bring.
When you buy boxes to pack everything into, we recommend using corrugated cardboard which is stronger.
You should also pick appropriately sized boxes. Small boxes for small heavy items, and larger boxes for light bulky items. We have many options for packaging and can help you plan your packing.

Sorting through everything you’ve accumulated in your life takes time. You don’t want to rush this process and regret throwing or giving away items that were important or sentimental to you. At the same time, you don’t want the process to drag on and prevent you from moving on.
Self Storage can help with the process.
By using a self storage unit, you’ll be able to store your excess belongings and sort through them in your own time. This will allow you to take the time to sort through additional items after you’ve made the move.
Our local storage facility staff are also just a phone call away to help you decide. They are more than happy to run through your requirements and point you in the right direction. They are the experts that figure out self storage requirements day in and day out, and can even offer advice around the local removalist companies if you need a hand with the shift.
For downsizing we often actually recommend hiring 2 smaller storage units instead of a larger one. This way you are able to organize items you plan on getting rid of into one, and items you want to keep into the other. Then once you’ve sold you items you can get rid of the second storage unit without having to worry about shuffling the remaining belongings you want to keep into a smaller unit.

Petition of Kenneth Mulholland: Appoint a Commission to replace the Wellington City Council
On behalf of so many Ratepayers and residents of our capital city we are inviting the Members of neighbourly to express their dissatisfaction with the governance of our Wellington City Council by signing Ken's petition.
Petition request: That the House of Representatives urge the Minister of Local Government to appoint a Commission to replace Wellington City Council.
Petition reason:
In my view, poor city planning has introduced new cycle lanes, removed hundreds of on-street car parks, and has adversely affected the free flow of transport and commerce with livelihoods destroyed. I believe the Council is both dysfunctional and incapable of properly managing the city finances and that ratepayers are now faced with unreasonable rate increases. Please sign this petition and let us all make change for a better Wellington.
